How Chocolnte is Made.

"ChOcolate," said n New York con
fcctiOner, ''is made from beans that grow
In pods on the cacao tree. These trees
are numerous In the West Indies, and il
is from them that we get Oursupply. The
beans are brought hither in the pod, and
put through a regular manufacturing
process to produce the chocolate cakes
that we use. The first operation is the
breaking Of the husks and separating
them from the Kernels by blast Of air.
Then the beans are ground with sugar
by revolving granite grindstoncs. The
stones are heated, and the oil contained
IN the bean makes the mass adhere and
become a thick paste This pulp Is now
partly dried and the air bubbles arc
squeezed out in q press, and it is trans
ferrcd 10 the cooling tables Here il is
placed in molds, a blast Of cold air is
turned on, and In few moments the
beautiful glossy tablets are finished.
''Thc British Government has recently
directed that chocolate be served two or
three times a week in the army and
navy. In confectionery the Parisians
exceed us in tho number Of preparations
Of chocolate. We use il in its natural
flavor only, while they mix essencCHnd
other flayOrs with it, until their is no end
% the combinations that they produce.
In England much Of the chocolate is
adulterated. Some recent tests detected
flour, starch, potato, lard, chalk, bran
and old sea-biscuit in specimens offered
for sale. Mail and Erpross.

A Clean Crab.

Miss Gordon Cumming reports some Of

Islands. Among the rest is a trait of The
crabs Of the island, which was brought
forward as an illustration Of the com
mandment to cut of a right hand or n
right foot, or to pluck out a right eye.
rather than be led into sin One Of the
teachers told how often he had watched
the matPO, or land-crab which by day
burrows deep in the soil but by night
hurries down 30 the sea TO feed and
drink. 10 is a wondrously clean creature.
and the SamOans declare that II on its
seaward way, as IL presses through the
tall grass, 10 should chance 10 come in
contact with any filth, which adheres 20
its legs, IL will deliberately wrench them
of, and thus, selfmutilated, hobbies bacI,

IL is positively affirmed that this extra
ordinary crab has been known thus TO
wrench of its eight legs in succession.

A AcoNrubiAcIous sueJEoI

Upon his throne the mighty king
His gallant courtiers kneeling round
Impatient, tapped HIS signet ring
And said some new, diverting thing
For his amusement must be found.
Then spoke an old and trusty knight:
May my kings indulgence crave.
To bring within the royal sight
A subject who denies the right
OF any king TO call him slayer
"How nowsn the angry monarch said
Who dare deny our sovereign power,
TO, fetch him here, alive or dead:
The fool shall bow or lose his head
Within the passing Of the hour
The knight retired with solemn stride.
Then came page, all sleek and trim,
10 say the queen would sit beside
Her lord and see this traitor tried
II he, the king, INDUCED the whim.
The queen came in and took her place.
The baby boy upon her breast.
Unheedful Of the treason case,
Looked bravely on the monarch's face
And snatched away his ieweled crest
lie crushed the kings symbolic rose,
Upset the sceptre with a crash:
lie even tweaked the monarchs nose
And kicked him with his tiny toes,
The while he pulled his fierce mustache.
